Westphalian system

Right, right, right.

The Westphalian nation.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

Look at the framing of people like us.

Usne kya bola? "Gair Musalman agar hamare saath aaye nara-e-takbir karne." The framing is not secular, not constitutional, not liberal, not modern, not Westphalian, nor, nor dharmic.

The framing by every standard is Islamist There is a Muslim and there are non-Muslims.

That is-

And I think he's finishing the article up with, what's in it for Africa? African elites should internalize these foundational truths to navigate coming decades.

The Westphalian myth of equal sovereignty is dead in the tripolar order.

I love how he's calling it the tripolar order.

That's...

And it's a fool's errand to try and play the game of colonies or to you know, um, try to expand West.

And also, you know, Hitler, like every other European of the time, you know, he, he viewed the Westphalian consensus as a moral imperative.

You know, you don't, you're not going to ethnically cleanse France and capture the Lebensraum, obviously.

Um, why do the Germans view Slavs and Jews as a different race? Cause they were like this idea, this idea that race is group anatomy.

I think the problem here, and I think Chris also noted it when he was talking, there is a confusion because Putin himself, as you said, is a bureaucratic, legalistic, Europeanized, utilitarian kind of character, again, enamored with this Western order.

And what is this Western order is a Westphalian European system.

And so that UN charter, all of that is about national sovereignty.

It's national international.

pious adherence to the dictates of sacramental practices of medieval Roman Catholicism, and an abidingly conservative and highly integrated throne and altar paradigm of sovereignty and government.

For a student of history to understand the present configuration of the global political order and the underlying political theology that sustains it, it is imperative to understand how and why Enlightenment dialectics supplanted the just publicum europeum, and to understand the praxis of political dialectics, we must define and identify the epistemological assumptions that facilitate the essential legitimacy of the post-Westphalian, global state and the social engineering regime that constitutes its ethical raison d'etre.

abiding the precedent established by the treaty instruments which jointly constituted the peace of Westphalia and thus brought to conclusion the Thirty Years' War, the most destructive conflict cycle of the nascent modern era until the American Civil War, and in deference to the ideological imperatives that are essential to the ethical and historical ambitions of the extant global state, it is, in this author's opinion, proper to describe... and identify the current structure as the Nuremberg system.

This is something that you and I have never really gotten into at any length, and I don't want to get into it at length here, but comparing the Thirty Years' War and the American Civil War, what are the broad-spectrum parallels that you see?
